Satellite Station

The Satellite Station on the Island

The Satellite Station is an unamed satellite telecommunications facility located on the Island. It plays a role in the events of Estranged: Act I and Estranged: The Departure, since it is responsible for transmitting the curfew message, preventing other S.O.S. messages from leaving the island:

This is an automated message from Arque corporation. There has been a safety breach. Mandatory curfew is in effect. Please remain inside.

The satellite station is described as disused since the 70s by George Richmond's dialogue in Estranged: Act I, which could be incorrect, or it could signifiy that it was instead used for top secret communications and actually remained active.

Arque Corporation use the station to broadcast a curfew message, and jam other signals meaning they do not leave the island.

Towards the events of Estranged: The Departure the satellite dish is distroyed by bombing, following the deactivation of the curfew message and associated jamming, and John Derril's broadcast of an S.O.S. message elsewhere on the Island.
